Ogemaw Hills Pathway is a cross-country skiing route in Michigan, about 4.6 miles from Campbells Corners. The trail is an out-and-back of roughly a mile, with a total climb of about 123 feet. The steepest part comes at about 0.2 miles in, with a 5% grade, and the path reaches a high point of about 1,343 feet. Winter is the natural season for skiing here. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run to highs around 27 to 30°F in January and February, with snow falling on about 11 to 9 days in those months. That station sits several hundred feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. For time off the snow, the Rifle River offers river fishing about 7.4 miles away.
